BINDER ATTACHMENT FOR SEWING-MACHINES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 275,889, dated April 17, 1883.

Application filed November 18, 1881.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that we, EDWARD H. CRAIGE, a resident ofthe city of Brooklyn, Kings county, New York, and FRANK HENRY, a resident of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, both citizens of the United States, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sewing-Machine Attachments, of which the following, taken in connection with the drawings, is a specification.

Our invention consists of a binding attachmentforsewing-machines, supported within or upon a holder in a manner permitting of a change of position by turning in its seat or socket, whereby the article or material to be operated upon is delivered to the needle in different positions, as willbe hereinafter more fully set forth.

In the drawings, Figure 1 represents our improved sewing-maehine attachment. Fig. 2 represents the. binding-guide with its car by which its position is changed; Fig. 3, asectional end view, showing socket and bindingguide in position.

A is the binding-guide proper, containinga channel-way for forlningthe fold or folds, supported within a pocket or opening forming a seat with which the frame 0 is provided, and within which pocket or seat the guide is ro- 0 tated by hand, as desired, by means of an ear or projection with which the guide proper is provided, (shown at B in the drawings.) The opening within which the edge of the article to be bound is passed is shown at a in the drawings.

The operation of this guide is as follows: When desirable to fold the binding over the edge of the article being bound unevenly, or, in other words, to have the binding lap farther upon the surface of the cloth upon one side than upon the other, the operator turns the (No model.)

guide A in its seat by turning the projection or ear B and pushing it in the desired direction, and to the extent required to cause the one edge of the folded strip to overlap the 5 other. By this the operator is enabled to vary the overlap of the edges of the braid or other material forming the binding to most any-extent desirable in practice.

The guide is represented asattached to and supported by the presser-bar of a sewing-machine at O above'the cloth-plate, whereby a greater range for operation is secured. It is obvious, however, that the guide attachment may be held and secured upon the cloth-plate 3 of the machine in the usual manner well known to those accustomed to use sewing-machine attachments.

The formation of the binding-guide proper is so well understood that a description would seem superfluous.

Having thus set forth our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patentof the United States, is-

l. The combination, with a socketed frame adapted to be held detachably upon a sewingmachine, of a guide adapted to rotate in said socket-frame, and adapted to present the folded strip to form a hem, a fold, or both, in different positions to the needle, substantially as and for the purposeset forth.

2. The combination, with a socketed holder and binding'guide, substantially such as described, of a projection secured to said guide, whereby its position may be changed, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
